Arts Weekly Round-Up Dec 11 - 17 — Young Professionals in the Art

Only two more weeks left to squeeze in as much art and culture before the holiday coma hits. For Reads & Feeds, it's all about development and growth with tips on fundraising and nailing that interview. The Hunt highlights everything from part-time production work to managing a museum marketing force. So much is happening Around Town - Stop by the Roger Smith Hotel for our third and final Professional Development Workshop series to talk about navigating promotions within the arts and we hope you dance off the week at MoMa PS1's annual holiday party or check out the Guggenheim's holiday concert in their iconic rotunda!
